Kendrick Lamar‘s unreleased track featured at the beginning of the “Not Like Us” video, which fans have taken to calling “Broccoli” or “Broccoli (Reincarnated),” has shown up in another unusual place: a commercial for the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team.
The ad, showing visuals of the team and announcing that “F1 is back,” appeared on X on Sunday (October 13). Its 15-second running time is soundtracked entirely by the Kendrick track, sharing the same section of the song’s opening that can be heard in the “Not Like Me” clip.
